(Syracuse, NY – July 2014) A recent Gallup Poll found that 40 percent of women feel stressed out every day. To help women find happiness amidst the hectic schedules of work, family, soccer practice, swim lessons, the phone, diapers, and dinner on the table by six, the 2014 Great New York State Fair has invited motivational humorist Yvonne Conte to provide the keynote presentation at the Women’s Day Luncheon on Wednesday, August 27.
Conte, CEO of Humor Advantage, Inc. and a nationally-recognized speaker and author, will present ‘The 7 Habits of Supremely Happy Women’ at the Fair luncheon event.
“We all face the dangers of stress, of becoming fatigued, angry, offended, hurt, depressed, aggravated, and frustrated. My belief is that stress is not an event; it is a reaction based on perception of an event and we are free to alter how we react to the stresses in our lives. There is a better way and the Great New York State Fair is offering women the opportunity to learn 7 ways to find that better way as part of Women’s Day at the Fair,” Conte says.
Conte, a native of Utica who started her career in comedy clubs, has shared her humor-filled expertise with more than 700 leading corporation and organizations, including the American Red Cross, law enforcement agencies, the U.S. Bureau of Veterans Affairs, GE Global Research, hospital groups, associations of health care givers, and churches.
Conte shares messages on team building, life balance, leadership, delivering quality customer service, aging well, coping with arthritis, and accepting change. The author of six books, Conte is also the founder of the annual nonprofit Day of Joy Conference held in Upstate New York.
Women’s Day at the NYS Fair begins with activities in the Arts and Home Center at 10:30am. The Women’s Day Luncheon will be held in the Empire Room at noon, hosted by Liz Ayers of WCNY Public Television.
